An Aberdeenshire museum is seeking the world’s rarest cars for its popular showcase of vehicles on the edge of extinction.
The “How Many Left?” festival will be held at the Grampian Transport Museum on Sunday, May 22, with motoring enthusiasts from as far afield as the south of England making the journey.
This will be the second year of the Alford event, which proved one of the most popular on the GTM’s calendar last year.
The show shines a spotlight on those vehicles which are on the verge of becoming obsolete and the people who work tirelessly to salvage and restore them to working order.
Vehicles already confirmed for this year’s “How Many Left?” include a 1993 Peugeot 504 pickup truck, a Granada Ghia Coupe and even Marty McFly’s immortal time travel device – a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12.
East Hampshire car lover, Vernon Hibberd, will make a huge journey from his home to the north-east with his 1985 Fiat Panda 45 – which he brought to last year’s London to Brighton rally.
A large number of trade stands will be set up on the day to allow car enthusiasts to trade parts and products for their vehicles.
Marketing and events organiser for the GTM, Martyn Smith, said: “We’re delighted with the level of interest in “How Many Left”.
“It was clear at the end of last year’s event that it struck a chord with true enthusiasts and it simply had to return in 2016.”
